The price-to-cash flow (P/CF) ratio is a stock valuation indicator or multiple that measures the value of a stock's price relative to its operating cash flow per share. The ratio uses operating cash flow (OCF), which adds back non-cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization to net income. P/CF is especially useful for valuing stocks that have positive cash flow but are not profitable because of large non-cash charges.
The price-to-free cash flow (P/FCF) ratio is a stock valuation indicator or multiple that measures the value of a stock's price relative to its free cash flow per share. This metric is very similar to the valuation metric of price to cash flow but is considered a more exact measure because it uses free cash flow, which subtracts capital expenditures (CAPEX) from a company's total operating cash flow, thereby reflecting the actual cash flow available to fund non-asset-related growth.
The price-to-earnings ratio is the ratio for valuing a company that measures its current share price relative to its earnings per share (EPS) and is used by investors and analysts to determine the relative value of a company's shares in an apples-to-apples comparison.
Book value per share (BVPS) takes the ratio of a firm's common equity divided by its number of shares outstanding.
Earnings per share (EPS) is calculated as a company's profit divided by the outstanding shares of its common stock. The resulting number serves as an indicator of a company's profitability. EPS indicates how much money a company makes for each share of its stock and is a widely used metric for estimating corporate value.
